Are you Ready For SEX? Every Teen Wants to Know the Right Time

Some teens are waiting longer to have sex because they are thinking more carefully about what it means to lose their virginity and begin a sexual relationship.

 For these teens, there are many reasons for abstinence (not having sex). 

 Some don't want to worry about unplanned pregnancy and all its consequences. 

 Others see abstinence as a way to protect themselves completely from STDs. Some STDs (like AIDS) can literally make sex a life-or-death situation, and many teens take this very seriously. 

 Some teens don't have sex because their religion prohibits it or because they simply have a very strong belief system of their own. 

 Other teens may recognise that they aren't ready emotionally and they want to wait until they're absolutely sure they can handle it. 

 When it comes to sex, there are two very important things to remember:

 1) that you are ultimately the person in charge of your own happiness and your own body; and 

 2) you have a lot of time to wait until you're totally sure about it. If you decide to put off having sex, it's OK...no matter what anyone says. 

Being a virgin is one of the things that proves you are in charge, and it shows that you are powerful enough to make your own decisions about your mind and body. If you find yourself feeling confused about decisions related to sex, you may be able to talk to an adult (like a parent, doctor, older sibling, aunt, or uncle) for advice. 

Keep in mind, though, that everyone's opinion about sex is different. Even though another person may have useful advice to share, in the end, the decision is up to you. 

As a teen you will be faced with many pressures as you go through life; sex being one of them. It’s one of the most common teenage problems. These days, everything seems to be about sex. It’s on videos, TV, in songs and it’s probably talked about greatly at your school. There’s no escaping it. Even though you can’t control the way society is and what’s put out in the world, you do have control over what you do, with sex being one of them. 

 Being a virgin doesn’t mean that you’re a lame, square, geek or any of those stupid things. It’s actually the opposite. It’s often portrayed that if you’re not having sex, you’re lower than dirt and no one will like you. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Just because you’re a virgin doesn’t mean that anything is wrong with you. You’re fine. Its the person pressuring you into sex who has the problem. Keeping your virginity is a beautiful thing and here’s why… You’ll Prevent Any Surprise Babies There’s nothing funny about being a teen parent. 

If you’ve ever watched the show, 16 and Pregnant, then you know what I mean. It’s serious business. A lot of teen sex results in pregnancies for young couples and you’re not exempt. Don’t think because it’s your first time having sex that you can’t get pregnant or impregnate someone. 

 You’d be silly to think that. Many first timers end up pregnant and that is not something you’d want to go through. Maybe you have a friend or know a teen parent. Look at their situation and tell me if that’s something you’d want to go through. Remaining a virgin will ensure that you don’t get any surprises and that you can enjoy being a teen for as long as possible. STD’s Won’t Be Able to Touch You . 

 Here’s what a site has to say about STDs among teenagers… Of the 12 million cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) that occur each year, 3 million (or 25 percent) are among teenagers. About 13 percent of youth ages 13 to 19 contract an STD each year. That should be enough right there to make you not want to have sex. STDs are nothing to play around with and can affect you for the rest of your life. Are they curable? Some of them are, and some of them aren’t. However, sex is a risk and you don’t know what your partner has. STDs don’t discriminate and many teens don’t practice safe sex. Abstinence is the only way to be 100 percent protected from STDs. 

No condom or contraceptive in the world can guarantee that. Once You Lose it, You Can’t Get it Back Point blank, when you give it up, it’s gone and there’s no getting it back. If that’s the case, why not make it special? If you have sex just to see what it’s like or you do it because you’re pressured into it, you’ll come out being highly disappointed. 

 I can’t tell you how many times a girl has had sex with a guy, dumped her and then she’s left feeling stupid. It’s not worth it ladies. Your cookies should be more important to you than a one night stand. I know that guys get clowned a lot for being a virgin, but it’s certainly not a bad thing for you either. It may seem cool to try to have sex with as many girls as you can, but it’s not. One it gets around about how you really are, then no girl will want you. 

Try to have much more respect for her as well as yourself. Having sex can be a beautiful thing, i would have said when you are in love, but we get infatuated so many times as a teenager and if we keep going with our feelings we must have slept with almost every cute and nice young boy/ girl we meet. when you’re married should be ideal because that is actually when you enjoy sex. 

Sex is best with that person that loves and cherishes you, its best done without fear of pregnancy or disease. Your virginity is a precious thing and you don’t want to just give it to anyone that easily. 

How do you feel about virginity? What is it that can get you to give this up? Lets talk about this.
